Published on Sunday, February 13, 2011 by Katherine Life would be boring without a little laugh here and there, including in the line of 7-11. Sagitarious. Sagattarious.  Saqittarious. Oh, whatever. Just print it....

Published on Sunday, January 9, 2011 by Katherine It never snows here.  Ignore the huge storm we had a few weeks ago.  Oh and the one we had last year.  Other than those, it really-never-snows-here.  But this weekend, it styrofoamed! My daughter first called out, “Mom!  It’s S-N-O-W-I-N-G!”  Whah?  Again?!   She flew out, then flew back in to exclaim, “Mom!  It’s weird!  It’s not snow… it�...

Published on Sunday, January 2, 2011 by Katherine All my son wanted for Christmas was a laptop, preferably with a webcam.  I hunted for weeks for an affordable one, unable to find anything within my Christmas budget.  That is, until two days before Christmas when I heard of a sale that was two bridges, a tunnel and an hour away.  I was so there.  And I scored! Within hours of opening his gift he was connecti...

Published on Sunday, December 12, 2010 by Katherine Pillsbury is going to save my life.  Now I can get brakes on my car and put presents under the tree, thanks to Pillsbury and their amazing coupon deals.  Just look!  You can save THREE DOLLARS when you "Buy Pillsbury Refrigerated" items! Oh wait, hold the phone.  There appears to be some more writing on this thing.  Let me put it at arm's length and squint...

Published on Thursday, December 2, 2010 by Katherine I love my new Samsung Fascinate.  From the Android Apps to the amazing graphics, one would think it has it all.  But sadly, my  smart phone is missing one very important camera feature.  Anti-Dog Blur.  Is there an App for that? ...

Published on Sunday, October 31, 2010 by Katherine During our many beach walks, my daughter is constantly finding shells and rocks shaped like hearts. I don’t know how she does it, but I believe it has to do with the true heart inside her.  We will be walking and she will stop, hold up a treasure and say, “Mom? I give you my heart.” Yesterday she had a rare bag of potato chips.  She crunched away in the bac...

Published on Saturday, October 30, 2010 by Katherine Dear Neighbor, I’ve recently noticed the new fancy sign you placed in your front yard.  I’m writing this letter in response to your really funny sign.  You don’t mind, do you? Having put my elderly sick dog down a month ago, I must admit to shuddering at the “stiff and hard” line.  I’m just sayin’…. I have a new dog now.  Just so you kno...

Published on Sunday, October 17, 2010 by Katherine The heebie jeebies, the willies, the creeps – we’ve all had them.  Whether from a scary movie, a childhood memory or a fear of clowns – most of us have some kind of trigger that can send chills down our spines. I get to see my trigger every October, just a few streets away.  For that is where THE WITCH lives three weeks out of the year. You’ve seen the...

Published on Saturday, September 25, 2010 by Katherine Ah yes, Captain George’s Seafood Restaurant.  Home of the bountiful seafood buffet.  Rows of things with shells, pincers and claws. And the best part about it?  After you are done eating, you can play with your food. MUTANT BATTLE CRAWFISH I WILL DEVOUR YOUR SOUL THERE HAS GOT TO BE A GOOD CAPTION FOR WHAT THAT GUY'S THINKING What do you think he i...

Published on Saturday, September 11, 2010 by Katherine When my mother was packing to leave the beach house on Monday, the renters from the neighboring house stopped her. “Excuse me?  Are you the owner?” “Yes, I am.” “We are early risers.  This morning at about 6 a.m. we saw a reflection on your house that we couldn’t explain.   We took a picture and would like to email it to you.  We looked all a...
